Cher vs. Deadmau5 “Believe In Ghosts” (DJ ZAX 2009 Club Mix)
You know you secretly love this Cher song. She deserves credit for popularizing the over processed Auto-Tune sound in 1998, long before T-Pain, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West and others jumped on the bandwagon.
Here is “Believe” layered with Deadmau5′s similarly electrified track “Moar Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff.” The result: “Believe In Ghosts.”
** As heard on San Francisco’s Energy 92.7. **

“I Remember a UFO” Sneaky Sound System vs. Deadmau5 & Kaskade
Here’s a new mash I made tonight, pairing “UFO” by Australian dance group Sneaky Sound System, with Deadmau5 and Kaskade’s electro/trance anthem “I Remember.”

BOC Friday Night DJ Set – 5/29/09
In case you missed it or want to re-live the night, here is a two hour podcast from my set at BOC last night, recorded from 11 PM – 1 AM. It’s a mix of Electro, House and Hip-Pop beats.
Stream the audio here, download to your computer, or load it up on your iPod to take to take my beats out and about with you.
Alanis Morissette – You Oughta Know 2009 (DJ ZAX vs. Wideboys Club Mix)
Jagged Little Pill got me through my angstful teenage years, and I remain a devoted Alanis Morissette fan to this day. It is rare for an Alanis acapella to see the light of day, so imagine my surprise when the vocals from “You Oughta Know” surfaced nearly 15 years after the song was released. This is my tribute to a song and an artist whose music is so important to me.

Rihanna – Breakin’ Dishes (DJ ZAX vs. Spencer & Hill Electro Club Mix)
I am glad Rihanna’s label has finally decided to promote this single. It is only too bad that it was because Chris Brown beat her up. I am also happy she sings, “I’m kickin’ asses” in the acapella that was released (unlike on the censored album version). Is “ass” really that bad of a word?
I restructured Spencer & Hill’s dub of “Flat” and added Rihanna’s vocal with a healthy dose of reverb and other effects. The result is a peak hour electro club banger. I’m also including a clean radio edit, in which she doesn’t say she’s “kickin’ asses.”

“Tainted Womanizer” Britney vs. Soft Cell
Britney Spears vs. Soft Cell
I created this mash-up to play at Bootie last November and have since received numerous requests to post it on my website. Recently, I went back and re-worked the mash to include some of the Soft Cell vocals. Now, by popular demand, I give you: “Tainted Womanizer” and the never-before-heard part 2, Electro Breakbeat Remix.

Prince vs. Otto Von Schirach
Otto Von Schirach did a dirty electro cover of Prince’s “When Doves Cry” called “Sliced Doves On Codeine.” Otto’s mix is cool but his vocals on the track are a little too scary for me, so I mashed up Otto’s beat and Prince’s original version into this.
